Default Sensitivity label on SharePoint document library

We have an issue with our sensitivity labels. We cannot select all labels as default on a SharePoint document library. We can only choose two out of 4 labels.

This behavior affects all SharePoint pages.
Even newly created labels are not selectable in the document libraries.

    The problem has been fixed.

    "Get-Label -Identity LabelName | fl " shows  {EncryptOnly}  under  „Capabilities“ 

    although no encryption is activated in the label.
    So we had to activate this once and deactivate it again

      Does this feature require a Microsoft SharePoint Premium - SharePoint Advanced Management license?

      All Labels are published for all.
      The difference is that different labels are set as default for different user groups.


      All four Labels can be selected on our SP sites. But not on the document libraries.
